Bandai said that this anime would be over the top...and they sure did deliver.
This anime meshes Code Geass and Gundam together so well that you think, "oh, this was in (insert series) too!" but the situation is so altered but still so similar.
Story 9/10:
While the plot centers around students making their own country, the valvraves show something much, much darker going on.
This anime does go rather fast, but you will never get bored.
Each episode has a plot twist, the characters have genuine emotions, and the voice acting + animations rile up emotions whether they be anger or happiness.
If you cannot handle controversial issues, do not

The rating is NC-17+ rightly so. There are scenes that will make you feel uncomfortable, but I think that adds excitement to the series. At every single episode, something will happen you don't expect. I've tried to predict what will happen in episodes, but they always turn it around and around.
The story in this anime is amazing, dramatic, and will surely rile you up.
Art 9/10:
The art is very bright and sharp in this anime. The valvraves are outlined with bright lights and the lasers are a splurge of neon colors. There are even almost-rainbow mechs.
The mechs aren't my favorite designs from what I've seen of the other Bandai series, but they are still powerful and sleek.
The art is very fun to look at. Space is more of a dark blue rather than black in here and the stars and galaxies in the background make such an impact on the setting. The mechas stand out against space and everything adds drama and bolder effects to the screen.
Sound 9/10:
Nana Mizuki and T.M. Revolution in one song. How much better could it get?
This anime plays music at perfect times and does and phenomenal job at changing the mood quickly and drastically.
You will get chills, you'll scream, maybe even cry.
The music will even change the mood after someone has died. I thought I'd be devastated for the rest of an episode after someone died, but the music changed my mood so much , I didn't continuing mourning until after the episode.
Character 10/10:
You will have a character you love. There are so many different types of personalities in this anime and they work so well with each other.
You have your heroes, meganes, shotas, crazies, jocks, introverts, idols, ideal boyfriends and girlfriends, schemers, and so much more.
Even if you may not like a character, if something happens to them you'll probably be screaming from joy or grief. You'll be shipping pairs you didn't think you'd be shipping.
Enjoyment 10/10:
As seen above, I fully enjoy this anime.
I thought an episode was boring...but then I got to the last 2 minutes and I was raving so much. Everything just changes so quickly!
I have never been so excited for an episode of an anime to be released until this anime. Be prepared to yell over cliff hangers every episode and have raging thoughts while watching.
Overall 10/10:
This anime moves quickly and has controversial scenes. The art and sound are fantastic, and every character will be dear to you. I could re-watch this over and over again and not be bored.
Everything is just mixed in so well - You can see the Code Geass and the Gundam in here, but at the same time you can't.
You will never be bored and you will not be able to predict anything.
This is the anime Bandai said was going to be over the top.
Bandai went more than over the top, they went above and beyond.
